CVE-2013-6307, CVE-2013-5463)
Flash (Alert)
Document information
IBM Security QRadar SIEM
General Information
Software version:
7.0, 7.1, 7.2
Operating system(s):
Linux, Windows
Reference #:
1656875
Modified date:

Abstract
Cross Site Scripting and injection vulnerabilities have been discovered within
IBM Security QRadar SIEM.
Content
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVE ID: CVE-2013-5448
DESCRIPTION: A Cross Site Scripting vulnerability has been discovered within
the IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) software in the
"Right Click Plugin" context menus for IP information. This issue is only
apparent when the plugin menu is enabled (via ip_context_menu.xml file), and
is not enabled by default.
The attack requires network access, some specialized knowledge of the system
and the user must be authenticated by the application. An exploit could impact
the integrity of the data, but the availability of the system and
confidentiality of information are not compromised.
CVSS:
CVSS Base Score: 3.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/87912 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N)
AFFECT PRODUCTS:
IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM) 7.1
IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM) 7.2
REMEDIATION:
The vulnerability is fixed in the following versions of QRadar SIEM:
For QRadar SIEM 7.2 - Install QRadar SIEM 7.2 MR1 Patch 1
For QRadar SIEM 7.1 - Follow Workaround instructions below (patch to be
released on February 3, 2014)
Workaround(s):
The following workaround will work for all versions of the product by disabling
the IP Right Click Context Plugin by following the following steps.
1. Using SSH, log in to the IBM QRadar SIEM Console as the root user:
ssh <consoleip>
2. Move the plugin xml file to a backup file.
mv /opt/qradar/conf/ip_context_menu.xml /opt/qradar/conf/ip_context_menu.xml.bak
3. Restart tomcat
service tomcat restart
After these steps have been completed, the plugin menu will be disabled and the
system no longer vulnerable to the XSS issue. Once the patch has been applied
you can re-enable the plugin menu.
Mitigation(s):
None

CVE ID: CVE-2013-5463
DESCRIPTION: It is possible to bypass protections in the QRadar WinCollect
agent, by using a injectioned based attack. Using such an attack it is possible
to inject a malicious dll or configuration into the agent, which can affect
the security of the host it is installed on.
The attack requires network access, requires some specialized knowledge or
techniques and does not require authentication. An exploit could impact the
integrity of the data, but the availability of the system and confidentiality
of information are not compromised.
